The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of `HC≡CH` (acetylene) in the presence of `Hg^(2+)` and `H2SO4`, we need to analyze the reaction and the properties of the resulting product 'P'. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants and Conditions**: - The reactant is acetylene (`HC≡CH`). - The reagents are mercuric ion (`Hg^(2+)`) and sulfuric acid (`H2SO4`). 2. **Understand the Reaction**: - When acetylene reacts with `Hg^(2+)` and `H2SO4`, it undergoes hydration to form an intermediate which will eventually lead to the formation of acetaldehyde (`CH3CHO`). - The reaction can be summarized as follows: \[ HC≡CH + H2O \xrightarrow{Hg^{2+}, H2SO4} CH3CHO \] 3. **Identify Product 'P'**: - The product 'P' formed from this reaction is acetaldehyde (`CH3CHO`). 4. **Determine the Tests for Acetaldehyde**: - We need to evaluate the tests that acetaldehyde can or cannot undergo: - **Tollens' Test**: Acetaldehyde will give a positive result (it can be oxidized to acetic acid). - **Brady's Test**: Acetaldehyde will give a positive result (it reacts with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine). - **Iodoform Test**: Acetaldehyde will give a positive result (it contains a methyl ketone group). - **Victor Meyer Test**: This test is used for detecting primary alcohols, and since acetaldehyde is an aldehyde and not an alcohol, it will not give a positive result. 5. **Conclusion**: - Product 'P' (acetaldehyde) will not give a positive result for the Victor Meyer test. ### Final Answer: Product 'P' will not give the Victor Meyer test.
